Inside the home
This 1860 brick two-storey on Terrace Hill Street is one of the more intact century homes to come to market in Brantford — original pine plank floors, a decorative arched staircase with iron spindles, stained glass transoms, and exposed brick details that a renovation would cost significant money to replicate. The kitchen and main-floor bathroom have both been updated, and the sellers have done the less visible but important work: new furnace, AC, hot water tank, electrical panel, and driveway all since 2021. The family room addition at the rear has a corner fireplace and walk-out to a concrete patio and a deep, well-landscaped backyard. The upper bathroom is dated and the basement is unfinished — buyers should plan for both. The 72-foot lot and quiet street location, within walking distance of Brantford General, round out a property that suits buyers who value the original character and want the mechanical work already done.
